[Merged] iPad 3G Ship Rumors

[dcsatt]

Got mine in Tampa at 10:56AM!

Got mine in Tampa too (Apollo Beach).

The FedEx guy said: "Okay, I'm gonna tell you what I've been telling everyone else – you have to get all your chores done before you can play with it."

He also went on to say he's delivered about 50 in Apollo Beach alone, and that the iPads were pouring down the belt at the Tampa sort facility.

Picked mine up at Fedex Facility because I could not wait for the driver Syncing now. This is awesome! 64G 3G

 

[Feeshy]

Mine is still sitting at Denver sort facility.

And...my CC hasn't been charged, yet....maybe it'll be free.

 

[Nahmeanz]

[bjobes]

Mine is not here yet but I just got an automated call from Fedex saying they had a delivery that had to be signed for. I know that! I am waiting right here ready to sign!

Guess I'll be spending the rest of the day with this baby! It came FULLY charged. WOW.

FedEx guy says he has been "reeaallllly" busy with these today.

 

[Feeshy]

Just spotted a FedEx truck in the area....could I be so lucky they'll pull up in front of my house??

 

[batman75]

Mine was recieved at 10:17am. However I don't get home from work until 6pm so it will be a while before I can play with the new toy.

Which FedEx division is delivering these?

I ask because at my house these are usually the delivery times:

FedEx Home = 10am
FedEx Express = 3pm
FedEx Ground = 7pm

Got mine about 20 minutes ago. Syncing now.

Delivery guy said he had about 50-60 on his truck to deliver.

Unit received 10:35am EST. [Woodstock, NY]
Syncing now....

 

[radiohed]

My iPad showed up at around 11:30am, Portland, ME. I can't wait to go home and set it up!

 

[Swampthing]

ONE not so great thing right away...

During syncing I see that I have 22 pages of apps due to the difference in spacing on the iPad vs iPhone. So now I have to go through 22 pages and delete the ones which I won't be using on the iPad, and resync to get the rest. Double work... UGH.

Hmmm... if I delete those extra apps from the iPad, they won't resync onto the device AGAIN will they?

 

[LouieSamman]

Got mine at 11am. I'm loving this device!!! I put on the antiglare film and slip it into the apple case. Synced and ready to enjoy. I will be activating 3G tomorrow May 1st.

 

[medgirl2001]

It's here at last! I've enjoyed following this thread with you all.

 

[Feeshy]

Anyone in Denver/Boulder get their's yet?

 

[HXGuy]

Just checked mine and as of 8:41am it was Out for Delivery. It's 9:57am now so I'm waiting...its funny, every time I hear a big truck engine I look out the window.

 

[HXGuy]

Holy crap how crazy is that?! FedEx just pulled up as I was typing the last reply!

9:58am delivery in Phoenix, AZ. The FedEx lady goes "I bet you know what this is!"

If the iPad syncing functions anything like that iPhone syncing you can uncheck all of the ones you don't want and re-organize the ones that are left in iTunes itself and then sync them that way.

Can't tell you for sure since Fedex hasn't seen fit to visit my office yet.

Erie, CO here and still shows as "At Sorting Facility" in Denver. I'm hopeful that it is actually on the truck out for delivery right now. I have to leave for an appointment in about 10 minutes so I fully expect delivery in about 11 minutes.

 

[kallyq]

Just received mine! I asked the FedEx guy if he had a lot of them today and he said about 10-12. He asked what it was and I told him and he said "ah, that makes sense!"



Syncing now

Me too....but I wouldn't trust the status from FedEx.

I know what you mean...I'm cautious about even taking a nature call!
